Blackout!

Yesterday I woke up to complete darkness..  No lights, no heating , no hot water, no telephone and worse of all no Internet or computer for me to post my woyww !! how could this happen???? lol .. We had a blackout or power outage , as they say in the USA for over 13 hours, and boy it was weird! Not sure I would want to endure that for too long, as I remember the brown outs in the 70's!! yes I am that old... what do you mean you thought I was only 21? rofl
It did mean that all my Internet orders went unattended yesterday, and we cooked toast over the gas flame for breakfast and boiled water in a saucepan.. thank goodness we have a gas hob!
I am absolutely a 21st century girl!
I know you are immediately, but you could have crafted, and yes I did, but I worked my journal for a while in the morning, and came up with this using my new Aquamarkers that I acquired a while ago , and the lightbulb stamps, and some Maya Road chipboard.

Journals are brilliant, as they allow you to make mistakes, and write down your inner thoughts , if you want to. Mine is slow going, and I always forget to take it with me on my travels!
The electrics are back on now, and I think we were quite lucky as apparently there was gas leak near an electric box, so they switched it off so we didn't go sky high!
I am not sure if I have introduced you to the latest member of our Creative Team, but you have to go and take a look at Sioux's gorgeous ATC on the Creative Team blog. It is stunning!



On that note I am off to pack up my orders, and prepare for my workshop weekend at It's Crafting Time near Cambridge... along with teaching I am doing a spooky punt up the river too! hope to get photos and show you next week!
Have a Creative day
